No exemption or set off is available to him regarding this situation.

STCG does not have any provision for exemption in any circumstance. This loss on forfeiture cannot be used by Mr.A.

The cost of acquisition of The person who forfeited the 300,000 gets reduced by this amount by virtue of section 51. But if the person who retains the sum was a realtor or developer, then this 3L would be his business income.
